Naked bike

After its unveiling at the EICMA 2024 expo, Aprilia's brought its twin-cylinder Tuono 457 naked streetfighter to the market. It's arrived first in India, where it's being manufactured. Expect 47 horses and decent tech in a super-light package.

The Benda LFS 700 might look like an outlandish flat-tracker, but it's essentially a naked that resembles an Autobot from Transformers. The 680cc inline-four produces enough power to go toe-to-toe against the more popular naked bikes of today.

The 2025 Royal Enfield Classic 650 motorcycle – revealed at EICMA – offers classic styling, affordability, and comfort. It's not perfect, especially when pushed beyond its remit, but if you like the look, you'll probably love the ride.

Fifty thousand bucks is a lot of money for a motorcycle. Kramer, a boutique maker of race bikes, has tried to cram in as much as it can on two wheels – race-ready components, advanced electronics, and a titanium and carbon-fiber body.

One of the most magnificent and terrifying steeds in motorcycledom gets its second major overhaul for 2024. The new KTM 1390 Super Duke R gets a bigger motor, a bigger tank, semi-active suspension and a savagely alien new headlight design.

Boutique motorcycle company Langen has unveiled a stablemate to its delectable, super-lightweight 2-Stroke. The 2025 Lightspeed rocks a hard-punching 1190cc V-twin, and hits the one horsepower per kilogram mark – at least, til you sit on it.

Ducati has a new motorbike, and it's celebrating this fact with a series of photos and videos so flagrantly ribald and saucy they'd be pixelated out in Japan. I mean, look at them. In fact, forget the bike, can I buy some of this guy's talent?

Norton has made good on its threat to turn its slinky V4SV superbike into a cafe racer – without neutering its rorty 1200cc V4 engine. The new V4CR carries an absolutely brutal price tag, but a bike this pretty might just get away with it.

Praga stunned us with its futuristic, ultra-lightweight Bohema supercar last year, but this Czech company has taken a retro angle on its first streetbike in nearly a century. The ZS 800 combines a gorgeous classic look with some nice modern thinking.

Suzuki has hit EICMA with a brand-new 776 cc parallel twin motor, aiming to take on the middleweight market where a lot of the fun's at these days. The first streetbike to use it is the new GSX-8S, but on the spec sheet, it looks a bit undercooked.

The fourth gen of Triumph’s middleweight streetfighter has received a facelift, upgraded electronics, a small power boost, sharper geometry, and sees the addition of a racier Moto2 limited edition to the 2023 standard duet of Street Triple 765 R and RS.

Ten years after the naked sportbike CB600F Hornet went out of production, Honda is plotting its return with claims of a class-leading power-to-weight ratio from its brand new 755-cc inline twin. The motor will also power the revival of the Transalp.
